RFR (JAXP) 8169450: StAX parse error if there is a newline in xml declaration

[Daniel Fuchs]

Looks good Joe.

I wonder about this though (which may be an issue for
another time):

102         [25] Eq         ::= S? '=' S?

Do we support space (new line?) before and after the '=' sign?

best regards,
